Slide 1

Matters set forth in this presentation contain certain forward-looking statements, including certain plans, expectations, goals, and projections, and including statements about the benefits of the proposed Merger between WesBanco, Inc. (the “Company”, “WesBanco” or “WSBC”) and First Sentry Bancshares, Inc. (“First Sentry” or “FTSB”), which are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those contained or implied by such statements for a variety of factors including: the businesses of WesBanco and First Sentry may not be integrated successfully or such integration may take longer to accomplish than expected; the expected cost savings and any revenue synergies from the proposed Merger may not be fully realized within the expected timeframes; disruption from the proposed Merger may make it more difficult to maintain relationships with clients, associates, or suppliers; the required governmental approvals of the proposed Merger may not be obtained on the expected terms and schedule; First Sentry’s shareholders may not approve the proposed Merger; changes in economic conditions; movements in interest rates; competitive pressures on product pricing and services; success and timing of other business strategies; the nature, extent, and timing of governmental actions and reforms; and extended disruption of vital infrastructure; and other factors described in WesBanco’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and documents subsequently filed by WesBanco, and potentially First Sentry (non-SEC reporting), with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All forward-looking statements included in this presentation are based on information available at the time of the presentation. Neither WesBanco nor First Sentry assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statement. Forward-Looking Statements
